[Dovecot] duplicate uids in Outlook
Hi,
I run a Postfix/Dovecot server with Outlook 2002, Thunderbird clients as well as a Squirrelmail setup. All use IMAP to query the server.
I recently converted our mail spool from mbox to maildir. After the conversion, one of the users is receiving two types of error messages which appear in a popup window.
- The first popup says the following
The UI D of a message changed unexpectedly. This typically indicates a server bug. Your program may not function properly after this. It then gives details of the MsgSeqNum, old UID and the new UID.
- The second popup says
Your server has reported a UID which does not comply with the IMAP standard. This typically indicates a server bug. Your program may not function properly after this.
Ive searched for this on google and it has been reported before, but there are no reports of a solution or workaround.
I would really appreciate any pointers or suggestions.
Many Thanks, Faisal Shaikh
Dear Faisal,
You should actually go and check that message in the maildir and maybe manually fix th UID. I think this might be a problem of the script you used to convert mboc to maildir. I am assuming you used mb2md.pl. I also did the same and had some slight problems, and ended up writing some 30 scripts before having a completely automated conversion. Good Luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. Does clearing the cache on Outlook mean deleting the PST files ?

Sorry everyone, I was reading my original post and realised that I wasnt clear on the problem.
The user that is getting the error pop-ups uses Outlook 2002.
